About Me

I am an adult educator, freelance instructional designer and small business owner. Relationships, engaged learning and community building are the values that weave together my livelihoods.

My work aims to keep people, problem solving and the human story in the center. Connecting with my clients and the end-user are what I am all about.

I hold my M.A. Ed. in Educational Leadership & Policy, specializing in Postsecondary, Adult & Continuing Education from Portland State University and will complete an Instructional Design graduate certificate from Western Oregon University in early 2022.

Outside of my professional life, I enjoy day hiking and visiting new trails, creative writing, gardening and exploring Oregon’s beautiful Willamette Valley.
